The University of Plymouth Student Charter is a tripartite agreement in the spirit of collegiality between the University, the University of Plymouth Students’ Union (UPSU) and the student body. Its purpose is that it should be used as a framework for students and staff at the University of Plymouth, setting out the, commitments, expectations, and responsibilities of students, the University and the Students' Union. It does not constitute a legally binding contract, but was designed in collaboration with students to encompass the key beliefs and shared principles of the University and Students' Union.
